Dulux Chalkboard may be applied over an existing paint finish providing the surface is free of dirt, grease and dust. Scrape and sand down any loose, peeling or flaking paint. Previously painted surfaces previously painted with gloss or semi gloss paints should be sanded back to a dull finish. Previously painted surfaces in good condition: Dust, then clean with Selleys® Sugar Soap. Surfaces with cracks or holes repaired with filler: Spot prime repairs with Dulux Prepcoat Acrylic Sealer Undercoat. Glossy surfaces: Lightly sand to a dull finish. Unpainted plasterboard, brick, cement sheet, bare timber: Apply one coat of Dulux Prepcoat Acrylic Sealer Undercoat. Unpainted set plaster, fibrous plaster, plasterglass: Apply one coat of Dulux PRECISION® Sealer Binder. Unpainted metal surfaces: Thoroughly degrease and apply Dulux PRECISION® All Metal Primer.
Stir well with a broad flat paddle using an up and down scooping action. Apply two coats of Dulux Chalkboard using a good quality brush to cut in and a short nap roller in good condition for rolling. Allow a minimum of two hours dry time between coats. Allow the final coat to dry and cure for at least seven days before conditioning the chalkboard. To condition the board, rub the entire surface of the chalkboard vertically with the side of a piece of chalk, ensuring the chalkboard is completely covered. Then rub the entire surface horizontally with the side of a piece of chalk, again covering the chalkboard completely. Wipe with a soft cloth or chalkboard duster and blow off any excess chalk dust. The chalkboard is now ready to use.
Unused paint: Do not pour leftover paint down the drain. Unwanted paint should be brushed out on newspaper and allowed to dry, and then disposed of via domestic waste collections. Empty paint containers: Leave empty paint containers open in a well-ventilated area to dry out. When dry, recycle the container via steel can recycling programs. Disposal of empty paint containers via domestic recycling programs may differ between local authorities. Check with your local council first. Do not reuse container unless thoroughly decontaminated.
